Digital Motivational Behavioral Economic Intervention to Reduce Risky Drinking Among Community-Dwelling Emerging Adults
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Motivational Behavioral Economic Alcohol Intervention and Health Education for Alcohol Drinking. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 806 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Emerging adult risky drinkers living in disadvantaged communities often have limited access to rewarding activities and adult roles that offer alternatives to heavy drinking. Guided by behavioral economics, this cluster randomized controlled trial will evaluate a brief behavioral intervention aimed at increasing future orientation and engaging pro-social alternatives to drinking delivered using a peer-driven sampling method and digital platform well suited for accessing their social networks.

Timeline
Interventions
The intervention combines an alcohol brief motivational intervention (US-THRIVE \[Tertiary Health Research Intervention via Email\]) with the Substance-Free Activity Session (SFAS), shown to reduce drinking and related negative consequences by increasing future orientation and engagement in pro-social alternatives to drinking. The intervention will be delivered using a web-based platform appropriate for the young adult target population whose social networks operate through such communications.
Participants view web-based health educational material about alcohol, sleep, and nutrition of a similar length and style to the experimental intervention materials.
